Most people imagine co-parenting as two exes attending school events together, making decisions hand-in-hand, and communicating smoothly.

But for many separated parents, that ideal isn’t realistic or possible, and forcing it can actually increase conflict and stress.

In this episode, I bust common myths about co-parenting, explain why what you think you know might be wrong, and share practical ways to protect your wellbeing while staying fully present for your kids.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why the “perfect co-parenting” fantasy can be harmful

  • The difference between co-parenting and parallel parenting

  • Signs you might not actually be co-parenting

  • How to reduce conflict and redefine post-divorce parenting in ways that make sense to your family

If you want clarity, confidence, and strategies for healthier post-separation parenting, this episode is for you.
